Former Vice President meets Vietnamese expats in Australia

Sydney (VNA) – Former Vice President Truong My
Hoa, who is also head of the club “Vi Hoang Sa - Truong Sa than yeu” (For
beloved Hoang Sa – Truong Sa), had a meeting with Vietnamese expats in Sydney,
Australia on April 26, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Gac Ma
(Johnson South Reef) battle.

Hoa praised the national pride and patriotism of overseas
Vietnamese people, particularly those in Australia, who have actively
participated in fundraising events for the club “Vi Hoang Sa - Truong Sa than
yeu”.

The Vietnamese expats in Australia have taken a number of
trips to Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos and donated
money to build schools for children of local soldiers and provide support for
people there, she said.

According to the former Vietnamese leader, members of the
club have been travelling to many localities in Vietnam and foreign countries,
such as the Republic of Korea and Germany, to hold memorial services in
commemoration of 64 soldiers who laid down their lives in the Gac Ma battle
three decades ago.

Hoa and members of the club will work with Vietnamese
people in Sydney (New South Wales), Melbourne (Victoria) and Perth (Western
Australia) to prepare for similar events in Australia.

She took the occasion to hand over the club’s group and
individual membership cards to Vietnamese in New South Wales.-VNA
